This week the American AFSers had the opportunity to go to the U.S Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. We all went for a security briefing. They told us about how we had to be careful about going in taxis alone because there has been cases were the taxi driver's weren't real taxi drivers and end up kidnapping women. Also they told us about avoiding areas that border Thailand and Malaysia because there has been some terrorist activity. It's not a big problem, but it's something to watch out for. Everything else was common sense though, like don't go into dark alleys, don't leave your phone on top of the table.
Afterwards they asked us if we would be interested in helping come up ideas for the script of a movie Oh My English. Oh My English is a a comedy and educational TV show here in Malaysia. It is meant to improve the grammar and pronunciation of English here in Malaysia. They are now working on a movie for Oh My English where they will send the cast to the United States and they will go to high schools in the U.S. I thought it was very cool that they would be asking for our help.
They also told us that we might even get the chance to meet Barack Obama! I'm not entirely sure of that and neither are they, but it would be amazing if they could make it happen.
